In the flesh

and they that are in flesh cannot please God.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

But I say, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh's lust.

among whom we also all once had our conversation in the lusts of our flesh, doing what the flesh and the thoughts willed to do, and were children, by nature, of wrath, even as the rest:

For we were once ourselves also without intelligence, disobedient, wandering in error, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

Which

Wherefore by works of law no flesh shall be justified before him; for by law is knowledge of sin.

For law works wrath; but where no law is neither is there transgression.

But law came in, in order that the offence might abound; but where sin abounded grace has overabounded,

Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin the law;

who has also made us competent, as ministers of the new covenant; not of letter, but of spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit quickens.

For as many as are on the principle of works of law are under curse. For it is written, Cursed is every one who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them;

But if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

Every one that practises sin practises also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.

Did work

but sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, wrought in me every lust; for without law sin was dead.

For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies;

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,

then lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; but sin fully completed brings forth death.

Members

but I see another law in my members, warring in opposition to the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which exists in my members.

Neither yield your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God as alive from among the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God.

Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, vile passions, evil lust, and unbridled desire, which is idolatry.

Whence come wars and whence fightings among you? Is it not thence, from your pleasures, which war in your members?

Bring

What fruit therefore had ye then in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of them is death.
